Welcome to my creative online journal

Where does the time go? I'm in the middle of crafting and before I know it the time runs out! Don't you find that? Real life gets in the way and you are called out to make dinner, take the kids to school or one million other things that pull us away from the masterpiece we are in the process of creating!

Well, I wouldn't call what I'm doing tonight a 'masterpiece', in fact its a bit of cartoony fun for the kids again, which is back onto the theme of Easter. Don't know why I have the Easter theme in my head so much these days, we haven't even had Mother's Day yet! (On Sunday for us in the UK).

For tonight's project, I revisited an old site I used to frequent YEARS ago! Neil Buchanan's Art Attack! I have done this project:

The instructions are a bit complicated, so if you want to make one yourself, please follow the instructions from the link. It looks impressive though, the picture appears to be completely Black & White, you pull it out from its frame and it is in full colour! The type of thing my little boys will like anyway.

UPDATE: I made a mistake making this project - I drew this outline freehand and then realised I couldn't colour it in for this project. Doh! Lesson learned - Follow the instructions!:

So I made another one....

This time I used the Disney Club Penguin Book and a light box to trace these Puffles...

You pull it out of the frame and as if by magic...

....They colour themselves in!

I made one of these a few years ago that I've also dug out to show you:

UK DATE & TIME

On Creative Flourishes you will find examples of my photography, mixed media artwork, cardmaking and general art & craft making. Hopefully I will inspire others (as others inspire me) to get creating too! I also include snippets of my family life with my husband and my two teen boys, aged 17 and 15.
